The Goode Stuff - Notting Hill

Hello lovely readers

 I have missed you!

 I've been seriously off the radar for a few months (bad blogger) but I've been majorly distracted by planning my wedding to Mr Rev. Wow planning a wedding is a full time job! Plus, lets not forget, I do also have a full time job, and there was Christmas, and there was the flu, then there's been dry January............look I've been busy OK! But fear not, I've still been capturing lovely things to write about so I can share some new reveals with you.

 My first reveal isn't a new spot and it has been written about by other bloggers like The Motley Spicer who had a stonking dinner there & the beautiful Londoner who waxed lyrical about their brunch. Today's reveal is Goode and Wright an amazing bistro down Portabello

 (as an aside, the night I went to G&W Rosie from The Londoner was in there with her family - who were all wildly familiar as I'm an avid reader of her blog - I wanted to introduce myself in a super cool way but ended up meeting her brother after I'd dropped my phone in the toilet........yep, super cool....)

 Anyway, back to Goode & Wright.

 I had heard a lot of good things about them and with my old university friend (also a bridesmaid) coming to visit from Leeds I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a whirl.

 The restaurant itself is down the hill from Notting Hill Gate at the bottom (flat bit) of Portabello so after a stroll around 'The Hill' and a few pub stops we found G&W and ventured in.




They have changed the menu a bit since I visited and I must make a small apology for the quality of my iphone photos, but hopefully these food photos will whet your appetite sufficiently to give them a go.

delish bread with butter, sea salt and saffron

something gorgeous with ice cream and bacon bits - SO GOOD!!!!!



Fois Gras (je pense)

delicately flavoured fish with some PHAT chips & truffle and caper mayo

buttermilk chicken schnitzel

naughty kale

le fin.
Goode & Wright are just on our doorstep if you take a quick hop and a jump on the Central line from Ealing and more than worth the little trip.

As a bistro it is perfect for most occasions - romantic meal, family catch up or a well earned meal with an old friend (obviously not THAT old!!). Also they were genuinely lovely - when I dropped my phone in the loo they gave me a box of risotto rice to help dry it out (very west London!) and we had a good natter with them at the end of the night when they were winding down.

I am excited about trying their brunch offering and would love to hear about your experiences if you've been or go in the future!

They're ALL Goode.......

Limeyard Ealing, new menu & competition!

Image
Today you're in for a treat, Limeyard Ealing have a new menu - launching today - for me to tell you about AND I have my first ever blog competition for you to go and try it for yourself!

First and foremost though, I must tell you about the night I had at Limeyard last week.

Along with some of the great and good of Ealing (note to reader - I do not consider myself to be either of those things!) I was invited along to try the new menu that Limeyard are launching today.

Having been to Limeyard a few times (more about that here) I was pretty excited as I love the people there (special shout out to geordie waitress Sam who is pretty awesome!) and the food is always good, plus I was told we'd be trying the majority of the new menu...........including new cocktails. Unsurprisingly this sealed the deal and it was a date.



We turned up to be greeted by a lot of cocktails to taste including the Smokey Joe (mezcal, triple sec, lime, grapefruit bitters & ginger beer served in a funky metal…

SOANE'S KITCHEN BRUNCH O'CLOCK

Image
This morning I had the pleasure of experiencing brunch at Soane's Kitchen, the new-ish restaurant, cafe, cocktail spot located in our beloved Walpole Park. Despite quite a few dinners there, this was my first brunch and it was rather excellent!
As someone in their 8th month of pregnancy, I naturally avoided the bottomless Prosecco option (additional £20 for 2 hours) but compensated by having extra bacon (it's allowed!). 
The shakshuka was really good, very fresh with lots of seasoning and perfect poached eggs - I also had a flat white, pineapple juice (much to the terror of my companion who was convinced I'd go into labour immediately) and sourdough toast.
Additionally, we picked up a few cakes - initially intended for later on this afternoon, that actually got eaten with tea as soon as we returned from our walk around the park. 
So good to have another strong brunch option in Ealing and I cannot wait for Pitzhanger Manor to reopen next door with the utterly brilliant Anish Ka…

Alluring Orchids - Kew Gardens

Image
I've written about Kew Gardens before (post here if you'd like to read it) and if you haven't heeded my advice to get yourself down there, then this post should help seal the deal.

At the moment, Kew have their Alluring Orchids exhibit on, and it is truly a sight to behold!



It is a riot of colour with a vast range of orchids all displayed in mesmirising, gravity defying ways.



Also it is only on until 8th March, so hurry up!

Now, I know virtually nothing about orchids, but I like pretty things and I do have a few growing at home, so you don't need to be into your flora to enjoy this - it really is a visual feast so go and tuck in!
